Martin University will hold two events open to the public this weekend on campus ahead of Homecoming Week celebrations, a community access fair and an R&B concert.
“We’re excited to host these two great events as part of our Homecoming Week,” said Dr. Sean L. Huddleston, president of Martin University. “We’ve got something for everyone — whether you’re an alum, a student, or part of the community.”
The 4th annual Community Access Fair will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 19 and is free and open to all. The event will feature resource vendors assisting in education, housing, second chance employment, criminal justice, health entities and more. Free haircuts will be given to the first 30 people in attendance. All are asked to register in advance at martin.edu/homecoming.
“In its fourth year, the Access Fair continues to be a barrier buster for the community,” Huddleston said.
The Kissing Game’s Hi-Five and Bashiri Asad will perform live at 8 p.m. the same day in the University’s Gathertorium. The old-school R&B concert will celebrate urban music through music by the American quintet Hi-Five and by “IndySoul” native Asad. Tickets and tables are available for purchase by visiting martin.edu.homecoming.
“We’ll have an amazing concert with nationally known Hi-Five and Bashiri Asad. It’s not just about the music, though — it’s a chance to celebrate and learn about urban culture in a fun and meaningful way for all generations,” Huddleston said.
